The College of American Pathologists (CAP) has highlighted the need for a standardized timeline for pathology fellowship recruitment to enhance transparency and recruitment quality. Insights from CAP president Donald S. Karcher reveal that residents favor this shift, aiming to alleviate early recruitment pressures that misalign fellows' interests with their subspecialty training. A later application timeline would improve pathways in high-demand areas like molecular pathology. CAP advocates for a comprehensive match process to ensure optimal training and workforce readiness in all pathology subspecialties.
